Summary
In this chapter, we covered Azure API Management as a proxy service that can act as a discovery service and entry point for APIs developed by your organization. We learned some fundamental concepts and browsed some policies that can be used to control how a request is handled and passed to configured backends.
This chapter starts the last part of the book, where we discuss multiple options for traffic management, routing, load balancing, and controlling ingress. Make sure to check the next two chapters for a whole picture of those services in relation to platform-as-a-service (PaaS) components.
